<h2>Summary: GHCN Network of Stations</h2>
<hr class="my-4">
<p>This project considered data available in the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN).
As described by <a
href="https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/land-based-station-data/land-based-datasets/global-historical-climatology-network-ghcn">GHCN</a>,
the
GHCN is collection of meteorological summaries from land surface stations across the globe.
The summaries are subjected to quality assurance reviews before inclusion into the archive.
Sources for the archive are varied and described in detail by Menne et. al. (2012).
</p>
<p>
Plots were created using matplotlib, Geoplot (CartoPy), and seaborn to explore the GHCN station network.
Factors that were considered were location of stations (continent), type of measurement recorded by the
stations, duration of
measurements by the stations and the evolution of the network over time and location. In addition, for the
North
American stations,
we consider how the network of stations has changed over time with respect to the type of station.
We only conisider five primary meteorological factors: daily precipitaion (PRCP), daily minimum
temperature (TMIN),
daily maximum temperature (TMAX), daily snowfall (SNOW) and daily snow depth (SNWD).
</p>
<p> <img src="static/img/continent-bars.png" alt="Distribution of Stations by Type and Continent"
class="img-thumbnail" id="mainpic" align="left">
</p>
<p>
The plot above is a bar plot of the number of stations reporting each type of element across the different
continents.
We see that stations in North America make up the majority of the stations for each type of measurement.
Stations reporting precipitation outnumber the stations reporting the other elements. Daily snowfall is
almost
unique to North America; daily snow depth is reported more frequently than daily snowfall outside North
America. We have given the data used in the bar plot in the table below.

We also give the number of unique stations per continent in the archive.
Note that the column totals from the table above will not be equal to
the values in the table below since many stations report more than one
type of meteorological element.
